TrueDelta updates actual repair frequencies, not just dots, four times a year to track cars' reliability closely as they age.

We've been covering Scions for some time, and lately have had stats for the FR-S as well.

Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they only report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, following the end of each quarter.

The more owners participate, the more precise the stats will be. To encourage participation, participants receive full access to all results for free.
